Black screen at loading

Maybe it has to do with the last time I quited the game : I was going up the building into the big red crane ..??

I have this exact same issue. It does the splash screen, says configuring game, says loading for a long time, then black screen. I've tried letting it sit for a long time and still nothing. Have you found any solution?

No solution yet for me but there is a main thread here :
